"The environment at Totally Kids promotes a constant learning experience. I have found that no two patients are alike and that understanding creates an environment of growth in knowledge while encouraging total teamwork. Totally Kids is unlike any other facility where I have ever worked before."

"I love working at Totally Kids because of the kids. I love to see the determination and joy on their faces when they learn new activities or relearn a task like walking again. With various clinical presentations across multiple diagnoses, it is both challenging and fun. We use patient-centered play-based therapy to achieve developmental milestones and functional mobility working towards getting our kiddos home."

"Having the opportunity to work at Totally Kids has been awesome. The experiences gained are unmatched, the relationships built are incomparable. Totally Kids has given me more than a solid base for nursing; it has given me unique opportunities to grow professionally. To stop and make a child smile or laugh during your shift remains a beautiful blessing as a pediatric nurse. I wouldn't change it for the world."

"Working for Totally Kids is like working with family and we treat our patients like our own children. They go to school, have activities, have social time and we take them on outings. My job is like no other I have ever had. This is a wonderful place to work; to see the results of my input not only makes me happy but I see it with the kids as well."

"Totally Kids is always looking for ways to create more opportunities for patients and their families in all phases of long term and rehabilitation care to thrive, learn, recover, and progress. As a 19 year employee, I have also seen first-hand the way Totally Kids always steps up to show the appreciation they have for their employees. Being here feels like family and as a bedside caregiver I wouldn't have it any other way."
- Michelle Larriba
LVN
"I started at Totally Kids as a new LVN and continued to build my skills as a nurse which led to furthering my education. I left Totally Kids to pursue other opportunities as an RN but always felt like something was missing. After 12 years away, I found my way back to Totally Kids as an educator and now I know I am back home. Totally Kids has not only been a place that has given me room to grow but is a place that will continue to allow opportunities for me and others to grow even more."
- Lisa Timmons, BSN, RN
Director of Staff Education
"Here at Totally Kids, I've had the opportunity to work with an amazing mentor who has given me the knowledge and skill set needed to advance in my career within the organization. Totally Kids takes pride in providing education and experiences that allow each team member to thrive in their role. I had the pleasure of working on multiple teams to introduce new technology, education, and programs to the hospital which has improved the quality of care we provide to the children. I can honestly say the children are at the heart of all decisions at Totally Kids."
